I have two dogs who get pretty excited (and a foster dog who gets scared) when people knock on my door. That means I find myself constantly peeking out the window if I'm expecting guests or food delivery so that I can head them off at the pass. With Ring Video Doorbell, I'd no longer have to worry about my dogs losing their minds if my timing is a little off — it senses motion and sends a mobile alert before visitors even have a chance to reach the door.

See who's at the door, whether you're there or not

I have two dogs who get pretty excited (and a foster dog who gets scared) when people knock on my door. That means I find myself constantly peeking out the window if I'm expecting guests or food delivery so that I can head them off at the pass. With Ring Video Doorbell, I'd no longer have to worry about my dogs losing their minds if my timing is a little off — it senses motion and sends a mobile alert before visitors even have a chance to reach the door.

What's even more amazing is that you can keep an eye on things when you're not there. Use the mobile app to chat with people when they ring the bell, and they won't know you aren't at home unless you want them to. Get notified when an expected package gets delivered (or if someone tries to un-deliver it).

Hardwired or battery-powered — your choice

If your current doorbell operates at a voltage between 8 and 24 volts AC, you can connect Ring Video Doorbell to the existing wiring. Hardwiring this way keeps Ring's battery charged and allows it to trigger your existing chime when someone rings the bell.

Does your current doorbell play a synth melody? If so you'll probably need to install the included diode. Just check the manual for instructions on wiring to a "digital doorbell."

No doorbell at all? No problem. The battery can be charged with the included micro USB cable, and it only needs to be removed for charging every 6 – 12 months, depending on usage. Without an existing doorbell, you'll also need to keep your phone handy for notifications, or purchase Ring Chime or Chime Pro for alerts while you're at home.

Optional cloud storage

The camera streams live footage to the app 24/7, but if you want to save or send video clips, you'll need a Ring Protect plan. Ring Protect is a subscription-based cloud storage service. The basic package ($3/month or $30/year) covers a single camera and allows you to save and share your Ring videos from that camera. You get a free, 30-day trial subscription when you activate your Ring device.

Installing multiple Ring devices? The Ring Protect Plus plan ($10/month or $100/year) includes cloud storage for unlimited Ring devices at a single location.

Ring Video Doorbell Reviews

Fantastic

The 1st Gen Ring visual Doorbell is a fantastic bargain -- less than half the price of the 2nd Gen one and the Pro one. The camera is HD (730p) and sharp. Night vision infrared works great too. Motion senser is too sensitive, so I set it to "minimum". The installation is genius -- no gadget to install and cram into the doorchime unit in the house like Nest Hello or Ring Pro.

Great buy!

Great product! I've been holding off to buy one, and in the end decided to go with the basic Ring doorbell. It performs as advertised and offers a piece of mind when I'm not home. Picture isn't crisp, but that's to be expected of the 720p. All in all, worth every penny.

Pros:Simple to install; well put together instructions; added sense of security; prompt notifications

Cons:Picture isn't the best; if drilling into concrete or brick, you will need to hammer drill coupled with included masonry bit (regular drill will take forever and may overheat)

Ring Video Doorbell

Everything is working fine and product is good to capture motion sensing, Live View and Door Bell talks. Only one problem is the Ring mobile application is not very active and connected to the server always. Lot of time not getting the notification. It comes some random times.

Peace of mind for Dad

This was a birthday gift for my daughter, she lives in a townhouse that does not have a doorbell, and her office is a bedroom on the second floor. She has missed friends, food deliveries and package deliveries because she cant hear knocking on the door from her office. Especially since she is a photographer and videographer, so is many times working with headphones on. I added the chime as well so she gets an actual doorbell now in addition to getting the alerts on her phone. Now she will never miss those important take out deliveries or a visit from a friend. Plus the security of having the camera makes Dad feel better too!

Pros:Simple to install, battery powered, ability to add a chime, great image quality

Features

Overview: The Ring Video Doorbell instantly alerts you (on your
smartphone, tablet, or computer) when someone approaches your front door or
rings your doorbell, and lets you see and hear who it is before you answer. The
Video Doorbell has a built-in camera that streams HD video via Wi-Fi, and
two-way audio to let you speak with your visitor. The Ring video doorbell
replaces your existing doorbell, and can be powered by the built-in
rechargeable battery, or hardwired to your existing doorbell wiring (8-24 VAC).
The Ring Video Doorbell is also available with a
Venetian Bronze
faceplate.

Camera: The Video Doorbell has a wide-angle lens with a
180° field of view. The camera produces bright 720p HD video in a Live View
that you can watch on your phone, tablet, or computer. Adjustable motion sensors
let you customize the size and sensitivity of the motion detection zones. When
motion is detected, a notification will be sent to your smart device or computer
through the Ring app, allowing you to view the live video stream. Built-in
infrared LEDs enable night vision after the sun goes down.

Weather Resistant: The Video Doorbell is resistant to
inclement weather and temperature extremes (-5°F to 120°F).

Installation: The Ring Video Doorbell is designed to replace an
existing doorbell, and is compatible with most AC-powered door chimes operating
between 8 and 24 volts. Even
if you don't have an existing doorbell, you can install the Video Doorbell and
power it for 6-12 months per charge with the built-in rechargeable
battery. Optional
Wedge and
Corner installation kits,
sold separately, are available to help properly aim
the camera for best performance. If your existing doorbell has a diode, the
included diode should be used with your Ring Video Doorbell (if hardwiring).

Wi-Fi: The Ring Video Doorbell operates on an 802.11 b/g/n
Wi-Fi connection on the 2.4 GHz band. It requires a minimum upload speed of 500
kbps, however, 1 Mbps is recommended for best streaming performance.

Ring App: The free Ring - Almost Home app pulls together all
of your Ring devices, including Video Doorbells and Security Cameras. You can have multiple users on your Ring account, each with the ability to
view video from any of the video devices. The app
sends you an instant alert when someone triggers a motion sensor, or rings your
Ring Video Doorbell. You'll be able to see, hear, and speak to anyone on your
property using your smart device. In addition, the app lets you create a virtual
Neighborhood Watch and receive alerts from your neighbors. In the app, you can
zoom and pan for a better look, flash the lights, activate the siren, customize
the Motion Zones, times for receiving (or not receiving) alerts, and how often
to be notified for motion events. The Ring App is available for Apple iPhone,
iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 9.1 or later, and for Android devices running
version 4.4 and up. The app also works with Windows 10 and Mac OS.

Ring Protect: The Ring app includes a free 30-day trial of
Ring Video Recording, which lets you save, review, and share recordings from the
app. Ring Protect plans are currently* $3.00 per month / $30.00 per year for
basic coverage (per camera), or $10.00 per month / $100.00 per year for Protect
Plus (unlimited cameras).

This was for my daughter that lives in another city. She does not have a doorbell at her townhouse, so this plus the Ring chime will accomplish that plus give her the added security of a camera. Plus the most important peace of mind for Dad!
